A huge Airbus A320 passenger jet was forced to land in a Russian field in the middle of nowhere after passengers saw smoke billowing from under the wings.<\/p>\n
The scary incident happened yesterday on a flight from Sochi to Omsk.<\/p>\n
However, a distress signal was sent out part way into the journey, with cabin crew reporting a \u201chydraulic system failure,\u201d Russian media has claimed.<\/p>\n

The plane was forced to crash land in a field in Kamenka, which is in the Novosibirsk region, with passengers reportedly seeing "smoke" billowing from under the wings.<\/p>\n
None of the 161 passengers were injured, and everyone managed to exit the plane via the inflatable slides in a safe manner.<\/p>\n
Of the 161 passengers, 23 were children and six were crew members.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the pilots of the plane was Eduward Semyonov, although it is thought co-pilot Damir Yusupov was the one who landed it.<\/p>\n
Mr Semyonov's wife Anna has spoken to Kremlin-backed news site Moskovskij Komsomolets about the moment her husband called to tell her what happened.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cHe said not to worry, there was an emergency landing, the hydraulic system failed, but everyone was alive, healthy, and landed well.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe added that they sat down not in a corn field, but in a wheat field.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut from his voice I realized that the situation was so serious that everything could not end so well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pilots themselves were in shock as hydraulic system failure is a challenging situation, and a hard landing could lead to an explosion of the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n
All those on the plane were taken to Novosibirsk by bus, and were given temporary accommodation in a recreation centre, if needed.<\/p>\n

A video published by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations shows that the plane was in bad shape when it landed, with black smoke marks seen underneath and around the wings.<\/p>\n
An investigation into what happened is ongoing, and it is thought that the plane will have to be dismantled in order to remove it from the field.<\/p>\n
